Sibling in the US won't be relevant at all.

You're overestimating your candidacy a little bit. There's a lot of incredibly qualified people out there from around the world applying to these schools - and even they will have a tough time. I can understand why you may feel your candidacy is stronger than it really is -- your GMAT -- but keep in mind that the GMAT is rarely if ever an asset, and can only be a liability (a high score won't help your chances, but a low score can keep you out). So beyond a certain threshold (700-720), it comes down to everything else. You may have a pretty solid start to your career thus far, but again you're up against people who will have stronger resumes than you (more experience, experience outside of India, etc.).

As you can see, it's not a huge adjustment from your original list, but a slight shift. Just keep in mind that none of the top 16 schools are safety schools for just about any candidate.
